Abstract

Dendronized, hybrid dendritic-linear polymers were synthesized by either the “graft-onto” route or by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of macromonomers. In both ways, the main chain was composed of acrylate repeating units and the dendrons were based on the aliphatic ester skeleton obtained from 2, 2-bis (methylol) propionic acid (bis-MPA). ATRP of macromonomers was not a viable route for monomers with side chains larger than ...
